Some great analyses on what Abe's state secrets law means and the ripple effects its questionable passage is having on Japanese politics:
Lawrence Repata: " A New State Secrecy Law for Japan? 新たな秘密保護法?" at APJ: Japan Focus;
David McNeill: "Shhh. The lights go out for whistleblowers and (possibly) journalists" at Number 1 Shimbun;
AFP (via Raw Story): "Japan’s controversial new state secrets law condemned as ‘the largest ever threat to democracy in postwar Japan’ by Nobel academics"
